Thank you to all of you who participated in the survey to determine our congregation's favorite hymns. There were 34 members and friends of our congregation who responded. The votes have been tallied and the winners are...

Here I am LordHow Great Thou ArtAmazing Grace

Following those top three are In the Garden, All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, Faith of our Fathers and For the Beauty of the Earth. In all 62 hymns were recorded, the majority were the favorite of just one or two people.

I'll start speaking about the meaning behind each of these hymns on July 1.
